Appointed as the head coach of England's white-ball team in May 2022, Matthew Mott brought with him experience galore and a proven track record from his previous role as the head coach of the Australia women's national team.
Within just a few months of his tenure, Mott led England's men's T20 team to victory at the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia in November 2022.
Looking ahead, Mott's ongoing strategy involves preparing the England team to defend their T20 World Cup title and continue their success in one-day international competitions.
His role will be pivotal as England seeks to maintain its competitive edge in white-ball cricket leading up to the T20 World Cup 2024.
Mott's ability to adapt strategies to the players' strengths and the opposition's weaknesses will be key to England's aspirations for continued dominance in the limited-overs formats.
